Moon sat with me last night
Adding magical light to my Christmas tree
Mesmerized by his ancient tales
I looked at him in delight.
He told me who popularized Christmas trees
Why people lit them with small candles once upon a time
How love for Santa Claus grew
Who added the tradition of generosity to Christmas.
He spoke of the snow that glitters in his light
Of myths that were created to ward off darkness
Of fairies that carried light
Of small handbells that added charm to carols.
He knew the first fragrance of seasons
The sweet scent of spring
The songs of summer birds
The glory of the first rain.
He told me about the secrets of life
Of holding hands despite strife
Of faith that never dies
If we learn to celebrate all seasons with a smile.

Balroop, I love your poem so filled wit magic and beauty. To think it started after Martin Luther in West Germany as he spread the reformed church.
So much history behind and so many traditions grew.
Real magic.
